[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Rydsmith:
Hello XDA,

This is a combination of an angry rant as well as a question (hence why I decided to put it in General and not Q&A). Why the hell is the application so spread out and lacking for tablets when it can run them?!

For example when I do a search on the Android Market for "Worms" (EA Games game) I have three choices only one of which works for my Infuse 4G but none work on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 that blows the Infuse out of the water (spec wise).

This is also true for Gameloft games. There is no option to download it for my tablet directly from them, but a simple google search gives me sites where I can download the Game Data and the APK and get these (and the market apps) to run perfectly on my Galaxy Tab.

This is a huge problem that I can can get the games, and having them working on my tab via sideloading and blatant pirating, but am unable to get them via the marketplace. Personally this is a fault of Android. I love how open it is, and how it allows for its users to do almost anything they want, but it is also a massive problem. I should be able to go the market and find ANY game or application that will work on my Tablet without having to pirate them due to the lack of support.

Maybe it's just me, but do you guys feel that this shouldn't be needed and is a problem of Android?

As I stated before, I do. I'm a techie so going to a website and getting this is no problem for me, but I gave the Tab as a gift to my mother, she would not be able to understand what to do and would be limited by the marketplace and upset when she can't find the application she wants.

Meh, it might just be me.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] 5thElement:
1. The apps were not designed for tablets so why should they work? Tablets and phones are two completely different devices.

2. Honeycomb 3.2 has added compatibility for most phone apps.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Rydsmith:
To add insult to injury, it's also very annoying when the market says that the application is "incompatible" with my phone/tablet yet I can sideload and it works perfeclty. A part of me is starting to feel that the Market Place should be the ONLY place you can get applications, but one can offer their own market, kind of like how Amazon and Tegra Zone do it.

The single best example of sideloading apps that works great:

- Netflix

/bye 5thElement
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Rydsmith:
1.) Except as stated, I can sideload the application and it works PERFECTLY fine with no problem.

2.) Yes because that will solve the marketplace issue?

Also, I thought they were no longer manufacturing Xoom, Galaxy Tabs, etc... or so you so nicely said in the now deleted "quad core" thread.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] bill.allrobots.org:
Yeah, it's strange. It's on the developer, in the end, to mark the app as 3.x compatible, but I'm surprised so many opt out when they could be reaching a larger audience effortlessly. (Netflix, Facebook, many games...)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] 5thElement:
The thread is not deleted and yes production of the xoom has stopped about 1 1/2 months ago. What is your point?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Rydsmith:
No...no it hasn't. A new Xoom recently passed the FCC with only the LTE added to it, and yes the thread was deleted. But I digress.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] 5thElement:
Yes production has stopped. The LTE units are just 3G units that have already been produced a LONG time ago, all they did was apply the LTE upgrade to it which was not ready in time for the 3G units launch and why they offer a free upgrade to 3G users.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Rydsmith:
Your stupidity makes my head hurt. I did research and no there has not been any stopped production, it was only rumor. Please note:

http://www.phonedog.com/2011/03/22/xoom-production-ending-soon/

http://www.talkandroid.com/34179-will-motorola-stop-production-of-the-xoom-not-likely/

and

http://news.cnet.com/8301-13506_3-20046128-17.html , where it states: However, Motorola Mobility told CNET today that DigiTimes' claims are "not accurate" and that the company plans to continue producing the Xoom beyond June.

These all state it as a rumor that was debunked. Please provide evidence that Motorola has CONCRETELY stopped production, since everyone was up in arms about the new model for Verizon which turned out to just be the Xoom with 4G for a September launch.

But anyways, back to the topic on hand. Do you have anything useful to add or you going to continue to speak out of your ass and offer nothing to the topic of app spreading and poor consolidation of apps that say they don't work but truly do, or are you done since Netflix is a great example of one and completely debunked your initial approach?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] TabGuy:
Look at it from the developers point of view. The app isn't tablet ready. However, if they make available for tablets in the app store then the implication is that it is tablet ready. If the implication is that it's tablet ready then their customers who load it on a tablet will expect support when they load it on a tablet.

Even worse, look at the comments on apps that aren't tablet ready. They nag, whine and rip the author because it doesn't look or work right on a tablet.

If I were a developer and my app wasn't tablet ready I'd do everything possible to keep it off the app store for tablets.

If a customer side loads it then that's fine, they must support themselves.

Here's another reson it might not be available on the Google app store. There are multiple, competing app stores. Thank goodness for choice. Maybe an author has decided to give one of the other stores an exclusive for a period of time.

See? Many reasons why it's not there.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Rydsmith:
TabGuy,

I'm going to play Devil's Advocate.

Go download the Cartoon Netwoork Application. On the phone it is AMAZING, it allows for full episodes and clips and games, so it is a nice time passer when I want to relive my younger days or let my nephew play with it. You cn download it for the Galaxy Tab, but it is neigh unusable for the Tab due to only being in the small rectangle.

So this is contrary to your point and on for mine. This is an application that does not work for the Tab, for the most part, but is available via the marketplace, while applications that are typically are not optimized for the tab or stated as working do in fact for it and are NOT available on the marketplace.

While this may be the except and not the rule it is annoying and unacceptable that Google/Developers do this and questions the future of the Android Operatin System with regards to the experience as the end user...especially against other Tablet OSes that have a centralized place to get applications that do work for the device.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] TabGuy:
Rydsmith,

I hear ya. Many developers don't have customer service skills and simply don't care how their app looks on a tablet and how many bad comments they'll get. Others try to protect their brand and want their customers have the best possible experience.
[Acer Iconia A500] phillymatt:
Not really a tech question, but I can't decide whether or not to bring my Acer with me on vacation to Playa del Carmen. I travel around the US a lot for work, and I always bring it. It really comes in handy on long flights, and boring nights in the hotel. I think I probably will only use it on the plane and maybe in the room late at night... if there's nothing good on TV. I won't have wifi in the room, and I have no choice but to bring my work laptop, which has a 3G card anyway. Any suggestions?
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
Hell yes.

Load up a external HDD with a bunch of movies and shows you want to watch, a500 makes a great travel buddy. Not to mention books and a bunch of other fun stuff you can do even without a network connection. Just block out some time before you leave to load up a bunch of media and books and games etc, that way even if internet is unavailable / slow you have plenty to do.

[HTC Sensation] MR_XXIV:
Can't wait for it :)
[HTC Sensation] phonegod:
is it de-odex
[HTC Sensation] az93civic:

[HTC Sensation] MR_XXIV:
Thank You sir for this release :D
[HTC Sensation] phonegod:
thats ok thanks man you really came threw for us tmobile us users i hit your thanks button again
[HTC Sensation] az93civic:
No Problem guys
[HTC Sensation] MR_XXIV:
Any chance to release a ROM like this but without all the bloatware ? :)

This will do for now though !!!
[HTC Sensation] az93civic:
My v2 will be similar, a little more optimized and de-odexd with some bloatware removed.
[HTC Sensation] phonegod:
i dont mind the bloat ware also you might remove somthing i want just leave it people can remove the bloat ware on they own its not that hard we have root s-off just delete reboot and your all done thanks for thinking about de-odex that leave us with theming it if we want to good thinking az93civic
[HTC Sensation] az93civic:
Ya I only removed a little.
[HTC Sensation] MR_XXIV:
Loving this stock ROM :-)
[HTC Sensation] exc4lib3r:
is there a problem with small mms on this? i feel like tmous users are getting screwed on this lol
[HTC Sensation] KeeperOfThePizza:
Remove all bloatware except the My Account app. Serious.
[HTC Sensation] parmijo11:
Anyone got a list of safe apps to remove Ti Backup?
[HTC Sensation] az93civic:
no, because these are based off the official US RUU
[HTC Sensation] jpyper:
My Account app is available in the Android Market. I can't remember the last time I used that app though. I'm gonna delete it from the ROM zip before flashing. It's not needed. Less bloat the better. :)
[HTC Sensation] borodin1:
+1 on de-odexed rom. Don't worry about bloat... we can take it out later.
[HTC Sensation] az93civic:
I will post a stock De-odexed rom link later tonight
[HTC Sensation] mattdub1:
thanks for this civic, i have a question though... does anyone know when or if we will be getting 2.3.4 US based rom ? i have heard great things about the optimizations for dual cores with this base but so far iv only seen chinese leaked versions with a lot of bugs... I cant wait to get 2.3.4 so our phones speed up without even needing to tweak them so hopefully when its out we can get a stock deodexed 2.3.4
[HTC Sensation] killbill_vol1:
Can I install this right away or do I need to get s-off and other things first?
[HTC Sensation] az93civic:
You have to have S-OFF to install
[HTC Sensation] az93civic:
I would honestly say when we receive a leaked TMOUS version or OTA. To my belief, Ice Cream Sandwich is when you will see full on dual core support
[HTC Sensation] Rydah:
Can somebody post the updated Listen app? Thanks in advance.
[HTC Sensation] quailallstar:
So this can be flashed via CWM? Thanks for providing this.
[HTC Sensation] Rydah:
Bump please. I have the beta that comes with the Rom but can't update it.
[HTC Sensation] az93civic:
Yes siR :)
[HTC Sensation] az93civic:
Let me find it and ill post
[HTC Sensation] Rydah:
Thanks. I'm dying for the update. (Not literally.)
[HTC Sensation] thefsfempire:
Thanks for this! I'm playing around with creating ROM's (never built one), would you mind if I used this as a base? I know it's stock but you still did some work with it. You'll get credits of course, if I ever get skilled enough to make something of it lol
[HTC Sensation] Rydah:
Hey Civic, anything new on the update for the Listen app?

Once you open the listen app, update it, it is located on data/app.

Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] oneguyks:
Is there a rooted version of stock 1.35.401.1?
[HTC Sensation] John_A:
If you are looking for Rotted stock rom you will not find ... i search about it and final i used this rom. After instalation delete the TM Apps with Root Explorer ... Working perfect :)
[HTC Sensation] az93civic:
Ya man, thats cool. Enjoy

Coming soon, I have revert my phone to stock to get it. Still searching the web.

Not from me. I only work on TMOUS roms

This is a great idea, but it would be better to flash the RIL files for your region after you flash this rom.

[Desire Themes and Apps] danarama:
Sorry to spam the OP's thread.

I tried loads of keyboards last week. Perfect keyboard was one of them.

I was looking for a keyboard to replace the HTC IME Mod keyboard as I was getting keyboard lag in tapatalk (This is not a keyboard issue though).

The closest keyboard to operating as well as the HTC keyboard was Swiftkey x. However, the theming options were poor. Although the operation of swiftkey was good, it still lacked that important feature for me, Calibration.

Its being able to calibrate the keys on the HTC keyboard that make it simply irreplaceable. I calibrate it for the way I type and it works brilliantly. Its auto correction seems much more accurate than everything else too.

Hacker's keyboard was the one I most wanted to work, but alas it was too much like the 2.3 stock android keyboard for me.

As far as I am concerned, Perfect keyboard was alright. Not perfect. If it could be calibrated and had better prediction, it would be though. It certainly looks nice in black!

[Nexus S General] gqstatus0685:
I went in today to get my girlfriend a Nexus S since it's free on contract today for my girlfriend. The girl that helped me had an ass worthy of a human sacrifice.

Her other assosiate stated that they had one more left but it came preinstalled with an Invisishield and that is have to pay additional for it. I told her I wasn't interested and then asked her why they would open a new phone and tamper with it without the customers consent. I would have let their little commission scam slide if the protector was put on properly. The shield looked like a righty broke his arm and and put the screen protector on with his left. It had more bubbles than an ice cold Coke.

I declined and they ripped the.protector off and threw it out. I thought it was pretty funny and wondered if any of you guys ran into that. I'm going to check the phone when I get home to make sure I don't have any water damage.

[Nexus S General] hangdogdaddy38:
I had to drive an hour and a half to get my wife's new upgrade as the local Best Buy stores in my area do not carry T-Mobile. So it was off to Raleigh. But the Best Buy Phone store was very nice and so were the sale associates. I think it was a great deal.
[Nexus S General] LordGeek:
Picked up my freebee today from BB, would you believe, it took 3 1/2 hours !!!!

Everything was going wrong at the store .. problems activating, problems with my account, continuous calls to AT&T & BB Corporate .. it was basically a nightmare.

To top it all off, in the process or trying to activate the damn phone, they completely rubbed my wife's phone off AT&T's system !!! Wife has iPhone 4 that was now dead in the water. Call my wife's phone, nothing, states # disconnected !!! Another 1 hour on the phone with AT&T Business Enterprise trying to get wifes # back & iPhone re-activated.

I sent the BB Store Manager (who I know personally) & Corporate BB Mobile a nasty a$$ email explaining the complete ordeal there at his store and my issues afterwards of what his BB employees did to my AT&T account.

Let's see what response I get from that.
